According to Left Bank Pictures, a British film and television production company that produces The Crown exclusively for Netflix, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie contacted them to seek a partnership on a TV adaption of her romance novel, Her Heart for a Compass, but the conversation quickly turned to The Crown.
According to sources close to the production company, Sarah offered to help out with information on her character and the inner workings of the royal family – something she has now denied.
On Thursday, a spokesman for Sarah told the Daily Mail: “The Duchess was in contact with Andy Harries, who produces The Crown, last year and they had a discussion about adapting her novel, Her Heart For A Compass, into a TV series.
“They did not discuss The Crown, or any idea of her helping with the series in any way. Such a suggestion was made separately at one point by a mutual friend, but was not progressed by either side.”
Sarah has often spoken out about the controversial show, revealing that she has watched it and thought it was “filmed beautifully”.
“I thought it was filmed beautifully. The cinematography was excellent,” she told Us Weekly.
Of her wedding making an appearance during season four, she added: “I loved the way they put my wedding in as well.”
